Item Information

summary: Image service for IMERG Early Run data product, displaying precipitation rate in mm/hr at 30-minute intervals shown in local time. Information on map configuration, color bar, and data, is available in Description. The image service shows precipitation rate (mm/hr), approximately four hours after observation.

description: GPM IMERG Early Precipitation Rate L3 V06 is an image service derived from the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Early dataset. The image service provides global coverage with a temporal span from 06/01/2000 0:00 UTC to present at 30-minute intervals. The service is updated every three hours to incorporate the new granules. To access the REST endpoint for the service, input the URL into a browser or select View just above the URL. IMERG is an algorithm that estimates precipitation rate from multiple passive microwave sensors in the GPM constellation, the GPM Dual-Frequency Radar, and infrared (IR) sensors mounted on geostationary satellites. Currently, the near-real-time Early estimates have no concluding calibration. Briefly describing the Early Run, the input precipitation estimates computed from the various satellite passive microwave sensors are intercalibrated to the Combined Radar-Radiometer Algorithm (CORRA) product (because it is presumed to be the best snapshot Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)/GPM estimate after adjustment to the monthly Global Precipitation Climatology Project Satellite-Gauge (GPCP SG)), then forward morphed and combined with microwave precipitation-calibrated geo-IR fields to provide half-hourly precipitation estimates on a 0.1 degree x 0.1 degree (roughly 10x10 km) grid over the globe. Precipitation phase is computed using analyses of surface temperature, humidity, and pressure.
